What is Golang MCP Server SDK?

The Golang MCP Server SDK is a Go library that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling developers to easily build servers that provide context and tools for Large Language Models (LLMs). It provides a standardized way for applications to expose resources, tools, and prompts to LLMs.

How to use Golang MCP Server SDK?

To use the SDK, install it using go get github.com/FreePeak/golang-mcp-server-sdk. Then, create an MCP server instance, define tools and resources, and add them to the server. Finally, choose a transport method (stdio, HTTP/SSE) and start the server. The provided examples demonstrate how to create simple echo and calculator servers.

Key features of Golang MCP Server SDK

  • Implements the full MCP specification

  • Supports standard transports like stdio and Server-Sent Events (SSE)

  • Handles all MCP protocol messages and lifecycle events

  • Provides utilities for creating MCP tools and resources

Use cases of Golang MCP Server SDK

  • Building command-line tools that interact with LLMs

  • Creating web applications that provide context to LLMs

  • Developing custom integrations between applications and LLMs

  • Exposing data and functionality to LLMs in a secure and efficient manner

FAQ from Golang MCP Server SDK

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol that allows applications to provide context for LLMs in a secure and efficient manner.

What are the core concepts of MCP?

The core concepts are Servers, Tools, Resources, and Prompts. Servers handle connection management, Tools let LLMs take actions, Resources expose data, and Prompts are reusable templates.

How do I install the SDK?

Use the command go get github.com/FreePeak/golang-mcp-server-sdk.

What transport methods are supported?

The SDK supports stdio and HTTP with Server-Sent Events (SSE).

Where can I find examples?

Check out the examples directory in the repository for complete example servers, such as the Echo Server and Calculator Server.
